Similar windows on the 1st storey along the west side which has a projecting rectangular bay with heavy Edwardian Jacobean mullion-and-transom windows on the ground storey. INTERIOR: a timber frame runs through the whole building but is heavily overlaid with Edwardian work. Most features, including the stair and the heavy 3-light 'Gothic' window on the half-landing, are of late C19 or early C20 date. The wing at the west end has good exposed studding on the 1st storey. A heavily-weathered post in the west wall with a mortice for a window-sill is on the line of the original rear wall, which was removed when a small rear extension and chimney-stack were added. The top storey is also an addition.
